Welcome to Down to Dunk. I'm your host, Andrew Schleck. We're part of the Athletic Podcast Network.

I wanted to just drop a short pod for you guys today, just so you guys could listen to Poku's

interview from today. So we got Alexi Pocoshevsky for a media availability today.

A few interesting things in there.

I think that we'll talk about them tomorrow on our Friday pod.

Darius Miller was also somebody that talked today, but I did not end up recording his

because I was not in position to.

He basically just said that he's been rehabbing and he thinks he's going to be able to play

this year.

So he's a guy that is an NBA veteran that has been a pretty good three-point shooter

in his career.

And so he's a guy that another guy that I think the Thunder could try to rehab his value

and then maybe trade him for a second round pick or something like that.

So that's probably what I would look for from him.

But without further ado, here is Alex Pocoshevsky. The first part of Joe Masato's question

was cut off. And so he'd asked him essentially, had you had any contact with the Thunder

before the draft? Did you know they were going to take you? Did you know around the range that you're going to be taken? And so that's the context for his answer. But the rest should have the questions in there. Appreciate you guys listening. Appreciate you guys following our coverage. I'll continue to try to do these as often as I can. And then be sure to tune in for the pride pod tomorrow before the draft we didn't have any

like contacts i didn't talk to anyone um like i said once um it was i was shocked that i was

choose by the number 17 and then transferred to the drafted to the okay see i was shocked

i didn't know that happened i was very happy about that. Were you shocked at the, like, Timor or, like, position in the draft that you went, whether you thought it might be higher or lower? Both of those. I had expectations of the first round, but I didn't know it was going to be first 20. And then OKC showed up there.

And I was, you know, we were very excited that we get chosen by then.

Thanks. Thank you.
